As a result of the temporary closing of the College due to COVAID-19, the enrollment process has changed.
Take a look at the steps below:
Power Hour Virtual Info Sessions: Every Wednesday at 1 p.m.
Join representatives from Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Services, and Advising.
Step 1: Apply to Thomas Nelson
Applying to the College is free. Before you apply, please review our How to Apply page.
The completed application will indicate your domicile status, Student ID number, and MyTNCC username and temporary password. Make sure to keep this information handy.
Step 2: Contact Admissions
Contact us at Admissions@tncc.edu once you have completed the application. We are receiving an unusually high volume of emails, due to the COVID-19 closures. Our response time may take longer than usual; please be patient.
- In your email make sure to include your full name and student ID number (your student ID is the EMPL number generated on the last page of the application). Include your high school transcripts, SAT/ACT scores (if you’ve graduated within the last 5 years); and/or college transcripts from any institution you previously attended. These items can be used to waive some or all of placement testing. If you are unable to include these items due to school closures, please indicate in your email.
- In the meantime, set up your MyTNCC account using your MyTNCC username and temporary password. MyTNCC provides access to important student information and your College email account.
- You will also have access to our onboarding tool, Navigate, 24 hours after you apply online. Login to Navigate using the credentials generated on the last page of the application.
- After setting up Navigate if you need additional help you may also make an appointment to meet with staff in the Admissions office. Learn how here: Admissions Appointment
Step 3: Admissions Checklist
Admissions staff will contact you with a checklist of outstanding items, documents, etc. after reviewing your application and any documents you emailed to us. We will be in touch with instructions on the next steps you need to take in order to enroll.
